How do slimming clubs in the UK help? Firstly, they create a nutritionally balanced diet plan for you to follow - handy if you're not sure what to eat and what to avoid. Secondly they offer a ready made support system, there to provide encouragement and chart your progress.

With all the different choices, the best way to find one that's right for you is to begin your search online. Alternatively you could ask your GP or other health professionals who may have personal experience of them.

You'll find big differences from one organization to another. These can include membership fees, and also the level of service offered. Some groups include weekly meetings where you can meet other dieters, while some are internet-based, with chat rooms for support.

Which works best will depend on you and your lifestyle. If you are very busy, or a person who prefers to be more private about such matters, then an online organization may be your best bet. However, if sticking to a diet plan requires regular reinforcement from others, then an organisation that offers weekly group meetings would work better.

The key to getting it right is research. Be sure to check that meal plans are nutritionally balanced, and that the advisers are qualified nutritionists - if in doubt check with your local doctor.
